 ===The Infinite Source===
-The Infinite Source is an American YouTuber who makes videos pitting characters from various TV series, films, books, graphic novels, and videogames against each other in rap battles. There are a few rap battles involving ''Mario'' characters, such as: "[[Link]] vs. [[Mario]]: The Rap Battle", "[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] vs. Mario: The Rap Battle", "Mario vs. [[Luigi]]: The Rap Battle", "Luigi vs. [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]: The Rap Battle", and "[[Princess Peach]] vs. [[Princess Zelda]]: The Rap Battle." All rap battles are formatted so both contestants each have two verses (i.e., Mario raps his first verse, then Luigi raps his first verse, Mario raps his second verse, Luigi raps his second verse). Many of the Infinite Source's rap battles have extended versions (stylized as "Extended + Remastered"), which simply gives both rappers a third verse each; out of the ''Mario''-related raps, only Peach's and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' rap battles lack extended versions.
+The Infinite Source is an American YouTuber who makes videos pitting characters from various TV series, films, books, graphic novels, and videogames against each other in rap battles. There are a few rap battles involving ''Mario'' characters, such as: "[[Link]] vs. [[Mario]]: The Rap Battle", "[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] vs. Mario: The Rap Battle", "Mario vs. [[Luigi]]: The Rap Battle", "Luigi vs. [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]: The Rap Battle", "[[Princess Peach]] vs. [[Princess Zelda]]: The Rap Battle", and "Mario vs. [[Bowser]]: The Rap Battle." All rap battles are formatted so both contestants each have two verses (i.e., Mario raps his first verse, then Luigi raps his first verse, Mario raps his second verse, Luigi raps his second verse). Many of the Infinite Source's rap battles have extended versions (stylized as "Extended + Remastered"), which simply gives both rappers a third verse each; out of the ''Mario''-related raps, only Peach's and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' rap battles lack extended versions.
 Throughout the rap battle videos, various artworks of Mario, Luigi, and Peach, both official and fanmade, are seen, while gameplay footage of several ''Mario'' games is shown as well. While Mario is rapping, multiple voice clips of him from various games tend to be used in between (e.g. Mario's "Here we go!" voice clip from ''Super Mario 64'' plays before he says "It's-a Mario! Don't call me fat!" in the rap battle against Sonic). In his first and second verses against Sonic, Mario raps "[[Super Mario Bros.|Way back since 8-bits, I've been busting bricks with bare fists]]!" and "[[Donkey Kong (game)|In the game since '81, this plumber's done it all]]," referencing both his platforming adventures since ''Super Mario Bros.'' and his wide range of games since ''Donkey Kong''. In his third verse against Sonic, Mario says, "[[Shigeru Miyamoto|Miyamoto]] shocked [[Japan]] with the original [[Mario#Donkey Kong|Jumpman]]! My legacy will still survive, that's why my [[kart]] just got a ride!", referencing his original name in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' and the real-life [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']]-themed amusement ride in Universal Studio's theme park. Mario also references [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Princess Daisy]], and other characters and games in his verses, while Luigi similarly name-drops [[Yoshi]] in the rap battle against Mario.
